Blackstar HT-5

I recently acquired a Blackstar HT-5 amp for recording. This is an awesome small tube guitar amplifier with a huge sound. I made a very short recording to test the heavy distortion tone.

For this test I was playing a Framus Renegade guitar straight into the amp. I put a Bock 195 microphone in front and ran that through a Grace 801 preamp.

I’m excited to announce a rare collision of creative forces at SOhO.
Songwriter Jon Lawton is making a special trip down from the bay area to play acoustically with good friend and instrumentalist extraordinaire Bill Flores. There will also be a handful of songs which will be performed all together by Jon, Bill, Sean and Michelle. Roem Baur is on tour from the bay area as well and will usher in the evening.
Come for dinner. Make reservations.

We hope to see you there. We think it’s going to be a magical evening and a lot of fun.
